MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — WVU Medicine has launched West Virginia’s first cardiometabolic clinic, a multidisciplinary effort between the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute and the WVU Department of Medicine Divisions of Endocrinology and Metabolism and Medical Weight Management.

“This is an example of patient-centered medicine, where we can make things as easy as possible to get the highest level of care,” George Sokos, D.O., chair of Cardiology at the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute and director of the Institute’s Advanced Heart Failure Program, said. “Having the ability to discuss a patient’s care and have everyone in the same office helps to streamline care and create an improved experience.”

The clinic is designed to help patients, with a history of cardiac disease and a metabolic condition, such as pre-diabetes, diabetes, or obesity, manage their care more efficiently and prevent any additional or escalating health concerns.
